I don’t rate Ivan Cleary, but I think there’s some good evidence that it was RCG that gave up on himself.
His effort in the Newcastle game shows he was putting in the rest of the season. Decides to show up for the last game and has his best outing of the year.
Which still wasn’t that amazing. It was great by his standard, be he should have been averaging that sort of game, considering how much we were paying him.
I know there has been talk of Dylan Walker coming I wonder if any thought has been given to Lloyd Perrett as I believe he is off contract as well. I think he was being looked by us at a couple of seasons ago only 24 115k 193cm.
You are right, there was a game towards the end of the year when Ivan said to Reg he wasnt having a go, Reg cracked the shits at him and never got over it...
He threw the toys out the cot.
Mostly known, but I thought Grant might go around again
I know there was a suggestion that Grant might go around again and that seems unlikely now, so this is purely hypothetical. But I do wonder, wouldn’t a new contract for him next year have attracted all kinds of questions from the integrity unit about the salary cap? Given that he terminated his contract this year, with the effect that it freed up space for this year’s cap, I can’t imagine there wouldn’t have been a lot of questions asked if he were to sign for next year. As I say, seems a moot point now, but we saw from the Tigers - Farah thing earlier this year that there are some things that attract a lot of scrutiny.
He and Cleary never, ever got on, and yet Cleary ended up following him everywhere. Not really a surprise to me.

Blake and DWZ might not have been in career best form before leaving. Who was at the time though?If true this is pretty dissappointing. I love Reg when he's on. Sadly I could almost count on my hands the number of times this has happened over the past 14months. Especially when you consider the amount of money he was on. The same could have been said about Blake and DWZ too. Does Penrith breed juniors that become entitled ?
Bet your life he will kick on at Parramatta and then declare how wonderful they are. Am i bitter and twisted . You betcha.
The departure list will probably continue to grow, Hethrington and a probably a few others.I did wonder about that too, maybe they got advice and it’s the reasons he’s leaving?
We now need at least 2 new props, maybe even 3.

Are our only props, and JFH might play lock.

Yeah but he stuck around the club doing his rehab, I think these personal differences can sometimes be blown out of proportion.
